Abstract
In 2011, Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine founded the second veterinary hospice in academic practice. This program was designed to meet the growing demand for veterinary end-of-life care in the community. Veterinary Hospice Care provided patients and their families palliative care services, through utilization of an interdisciplinary team, from the time of terminal diagnosis to the time of death. Families also received dedicated emotional support. As a direct result of the hospice care service, Michigan State University veterinary students as well as in-state technical college students received an increase in end-of-life care in the curriculum.
